Why “anglophobia” is a great word
ANGLOPHOBIA — [Noun] A persistent aversion or hostility toward England, its people, and its cultural influence. From the combining form Anglo- (referring to England or the English) and -phobia (from Greek, meaning "fear, aversion"). First attested in 1793 (by Thomas Jefferson). Unlike Anglophilia, its admiring opposite, or xenophobia, a generalized dread of the foreign, Anglophobia is a prejudice distilled to a singular, potent source. It is the deliberate spurning of a Shakespearean sonnet, the quiet satisfaction at a cricket team's defeat, the scent of tea dumped into Boston Harbor—a specific resentment, etched by history's long and contentious ledger, that refines fear into a precise and cultivated disdain.
